2 Claims.

This application is a division of my copendin application Serial No. 347,882. I v i This invention relates to a power transmission element and mechanism formed by novel process and methods.

Important features of the invention'relate to a method of preforming one end of a flexible cable to novel connections between the enlarged cable ends and rigid power transmission ele-- ments; and to various other details of construction and combinations of parts particularly set forth in the following descriptive matter and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:

The figure is a view, partly in section and part- 15 ly in side elevation, of my novel operating connection.

The invention is shown embodied in an operating connection for a flexible stranded steel cable l0 having at'its end an integral head 46 adapted 20 to be secured to the radially slotted end of a rigid lever 66. The head 46 is shown restin against a seat in the form of a plain-faced washer 88, which in turn bears against a plain washer 10, which bears against another plain washer ll contasting the base of a cylindrical recess in the lever end. A compression spring 12 confined between stops or washers l3 and 14, one engaging the lever and the other an enlargement I6 integral with the cable, serves to retain the head 3g of the cable in its seat, and also serves yieldingly to resist flexing oi the end portion of the cable While one particular embodiment of my inveni (ci. 287 b?) tion has been described in detail, it is not my intention to limit the scope of the invention to that particular embodiment, or otherwise than by the terms of the appended claims. The present application is a division oi. my application No. 347,882, filed March 18, 1929, Patent No. 2,009,206 granted July 23, 1935.

I claim:

1. Transmission means comprising a lever member having a cylindrical recess in its end in combination with a headed flexible tension element seated within a recessed washer member in said recess and a compression spring surrounding said tension element and confined between stops abutting said lever and tension element, said spring serving to retain the tension element in its operative position.

2. Transmission means comprising a rotatable lever member having a recess, a flexible element provided with a ball shaped end seated within said recess, said flexible element having an enlarged part spaced from said ball shaped end and being flexible between said end and said part, and a coil spring sleeved on the flexible element and compressed between the enlarged part and the lever member and flexing with the part of the flexible element on which it is sleeved and having the two functions of holding said end seated in said recess and'of yieldingly resisting flexing of said part of the flexible element.
